About The Position

At Stampin’ Up!, we believe creativity connects people, and when you pair that creativity with thoughtful strategy, amazing things happen. For over 35 years, we’ve inspired a global community through paper crafting, connection, and unforgettable experiences. Our events don’t just inform, they energize, unite, and celebrate creativity around the world. We’re a values-driven company, guided by four core principles: we care about people first, we act with courage, we better our best, and we own it. That means collaboration matters, ideas are welcomed, and accountability is shared. We’re playful but professional, creative but data-driven, and always evolving. If you thrive in an environment where creativity meets business realities, where change is constant (and exciting), and where you can make a real impact on how people experience our brand, this might be your place. The Senior Events Specialist leads the strategy, planning, and execution of Stampin’ Up!’s largest and most impactful live and virtual events. This role blends big-picture creative thinking with strong operational execution, balancing inspiring attendee experiences with budgets, timelines, and business objectives. You’ll collaborate extensively across teams, mentor fellow event professionals, and serve as a trusted partner to stakeholders and vendors. You’ll also navigate ongoing change, elevate event standards, and use data and feedback to continuously improve how we show up on stage, on screen, and behind the scenes. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who takes ownership, communicates exceptionally well, solves problems with flexibility, and pays attention to the details that truly make an event shine.
